Good Works

Titus 2:14
"Who gave himself for us, that he might redeem us from all iniquity, and purify unto himself a peculiar people, zealous of good works."

Titus 3:8
"This is a faithful saying, and these things I will that thou affirm constantly, that they which have believed in God might be careful to maintain good works. These things are good and profitable unto men."

There are not many places in the Bible where we are told to be zealous regarding something in particular. The word means to be burning with zealously or eager desire. There should be a fire kindled by love within the heart of each Christian that drives them to do good works.
The question then becomes, what is a good work? On the most basic level, a good work is some action or attitude that is pleasing to God. This is the fruit Jesus commands us to bear through abiding in the Father. This fruit, these good works, must flow from a love for God and not a selfish desire for credit or a grudging compliance to a command.
Thinking back over yesterday, can I think of any good works that I accomplished? Am I zealous regarding good works?
